Anyone involved in Martial arts out there????
 

I just started taking classes in Muay Thai to supplement my regular work out -all I have to say is I am sore as HELL. Using completely different muscles than I'm used to and my gawd I'm hurting today. Well if anyone else is into martial arts I'd love to know - maybe we can spar sometime :winkwink:

Hey Mario .... Yeah y not . 7 years of Karate here ( kyokushin style )
But I was trained back in Russia so it was not just morning exercise at all but 5 times / week, 3 hours / day :smokin

haha dont worry about it, just wait till your nerves start deadning, it'll hurt less

good stuff man..i kickboxed for two years in training and then my roomate in school was some kind of kickboxing wiz..so he beat the crap out of me daily until i had enough

enjoy the workout..lol

I did karate for almost three years but not done it for some time due to a knee injury.

15 years of Muay Thai helped keep me in shape... I just wish I had the time to do it more than I do now but what a great workout!!

good luck with that! I hope you have "true" muay thai teacher cuz if ya don't then it ain't MUAY THAI! :)

I did about 8 years of karate, some Jiu-Jitsu and some Kung-Fu.

I love Martial Arts and wish I had the time to continue doing them

I'm a BJJ blue belt. MT is too painful at my age.

I studied Hapkido for several years and I loved it. It's been a while since I practiced but the fundementals are still deeply woven into my brain. I'd love to eventually start up training again.

I was doing thai box for 6 years, but had to give it up because I've hurt my knee

I did Taekwondo and American Freestyle Karate for 4 years. I'm into Shaolin Kung Fu now. I love martial arts.

I don't take any martial arts, but I'd still kick your ass Mario. Don't ever forget that.

I took Karate for two years back when I was 12 - was a real bad ass but they sure taught me discipline and respect. I always recommend the martial arts for young kids especially mis-behanved or wild ones.

Mario I am going to come over and spar with you right now in the office, promise I wont hurt you too badly ok? lol

I pratice Capoeira here in Tucson. The infamous fight dance. I been training five years, just got back into it after a 6 mo layoff. I love it teaches strength, agility, music, song and family. The chix like to wear tight work out pants which is just an added bonus.

I've been doing kickboxing for almost six months now and love it to bits. It's a great workout, but yeah, the first three weeks or so I was SO sore the day after class. After that, though, my body got used to the new movements and the soreness went away.

Be one with the Tiger Balm, grasshopper.

shaolin kempo kung-fu about 9 years now

I'm curious where you're training Mario? I'm looking for something new in the Toronto area - a good friend of mine teaches Wing Chun kung-fu from his home but he's way out in the east end (I can't convince him to do outcalls lol)

boxing, muay thai, submission grappling mixed with gnp.

... i think some of the gfy'ers are gonna start doing a little knowledge exchange sessions at the conventions when there is time... i know that anthony is interested for sure & he says lots of gfy'ers actually train, so it should be pretty cool... plus, it'll give those participating a chance to get ta know each other too:thumbsup:

but you fuckers will have to go easy on me til florida, lol... im in too bad of shape right now, but i been trying ta get back into it.

i dont think kickboxing is a martial art but im gonna start that soon lol (just called about it today) need something to whip me back into shape.

Been practicing Tae kwon do back then in high school... :)

Where is The_Senator at? :)

Just about every major decision in my life has revolved around the martial arts in one way or another.

Mario, what gym did you train at? Ultimate? Rebellion? Siam?

I used to practice Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, fucking awesome.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu the most realistic self defense system on the planet.

I'll climb your back like a monkey and choke you out.

For the record, i challenged the Gracie family to a 4 of them on me handicap match, and they backed down from me :2 cents:


:1orglaugh

The Gracies are a bit overrated imo.

LET's GET IT ON!

You can walk into any Gracie owned academy and talk to them about it, that's an issue they never tire of discussing.

Muay Thai, BJJ, and San Soo, about 5 years now.

haha, that's funny. Are you going to Vegas?

3 years of Boxing/Kickboxing
7 months of jujitsu before I got a hernia.
Going back to train in March

6 years and counting of Sambo... amazing mortial art.

I'm sure you'd be able to kick their sorry asses

A lot of people would literally love that !

Did Wrestling in High School and Pankration for about 2 years. Kickboxing is tough as shit and will surely get you in shape and increase your pain tolerance! We'll have to spar sometime! Just remember I'm a delicate man. :thumbsup

I would love to but obigations have me tied down at home.
